| Quote: | | A newly uncovered vulnerability in most browsers can allow hackers to spoof the URL displayed in the address bar and the SSL certificate, a security firm warned Monday. The one exception? Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Danish security company Secunia posted an alert describing the vulnerability -- which affects Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Konqueror -- as a moderately critical problem. The vulnerability impacts every browser built atop the open-source Geko browser kernel -- nearly all except IE -- because of a flaw in handling International Domain Names (IDN). |
Actually, the flaw is in the IDN spec it's self, the affected browsers were hit by this because they follow the IDN spec. IE can also be affected if you install an IDN plugin, since it's not natively supported.
